      Well said, Peter. I'm so grateful we still have you amid the sea of culturally relative human rights activism.

      Yeah. All those cultural relativists arguing that Nazis and white supremacists are objectively wrong. That makes a ton of sense.

      Not sure how this relates? I'm saying people who oppose homophobia consistently do better than those who do so in culturally relative ways.

      I don't know anyone on the left who opposes homophobia in relativist ways. I know lots of religious tolerance folks who do, tho.

      And sorry I'm a little keyed up from watching Nazis march on my alma matter last night. Seems like the relativists are the ones condoning it

      That's quite alright. I don't know about this but it is quite possible to defend the rights of ex-Muslims & oppose Nazi ideas at same time.

      Oh totally. I support ex Muslim rights. I'm just confused on your spin to make this about relativists. Which, I think you mean the left?

      I just don't understand which group you are calling relativists. I don't see a lot of them around these days. Can you point me to them?

      I'm not talking abt groups. I'm talking abt people seriously considering whether ppl can criticise Islam at Pride eg http://www.ex-muslim.org.uk/category/pressreleases/ …

          Which people? People with platforms? People with sway? Or random internet folk? Or like the zeitgeist itself? How nebulous is this threat?

          Pride is considering both arguments right now. It is a platform. It has sway.

          Kay. Well I'm curious to see how that goes. If there are relativists they tend to do poorly in the marketplace of ideas.

          Relativists are everywhere. 'Its OK for us but not for you' is a human tendency.Current ideas in leftism support this using power structures

          Namely - 'Its OK to criticise/generalise about this group coz powerful but not this one coz oppressed minority.'

          Hence, we get people defending poisoned candy analogies for men or for Muslim immigrants but very rarely both - relativism.

          See that pride is debating whether this should be allowed. One faction says 'Yes, consistency!' One says 'No, vulnerable minority group!'

          I really have to go and do some work but you can easily find other arguments on each side by searching or looking at Tweets to CEMB.
